Never thought I'd find you here

Kichi didn’t pull away this time. Kichi had never really opened his heart up that much before, never wanted to risk the chance of being hurt. Lurid had never been called or thought of as mom, Alastor had been great fun and offered a sense of security but Kichi had never let him replace some hole in his heart. The small pup had wanted no one to replace mom and dad. He had grown closer to Alastor when they had traveled without Lurid for a short bit of time. He had felt it was different than being with Lurid but the difference was something the naïve child couldn’t pick up on.
Even this embrace from Al now was different than other embraces he could recall. Lurid’s had been possessive but this was more than that. Kichi’s mind filtered through memories and those emotions that were normally choked off. Alastor spoke words that were a balm on a scarred heart, not that it could remove the scars, but it was the best he’d felt in a long time. The rage from earlier was drained out. Kichi obviously wasn’t very good at catching a lie since he’d been deceived for so long but this didn’t feel like a lie. Alastor had always been different and this embrace was different.
Kichi looked up at his ‘bigger' brother as he told him to go ahead and do what was needed and then where to meet them. Kichi nodded, stepping back and starting to walk off before glancing at Alastor. The giant wolf had given him so many kind words and was Kichi going to walk off in silence? It was a lot to take in! Alastor hadn’t shut him out, had invited him to see his mate, and accepted him so quickly into the family. The words ‘I love you’ seemed suiting, right? Family loved each other. Kichi had faint memories of parents that ‘loved’ him but they were dead so early and such memories fade so that he couldn't really say what ‘love’ felt like to know if anything he felt was love or friendship or whatever.
“I’m glad I found you also,” the words quiet and sincere, “I’ve been lost a long time. Finding you, I don’t feel lost. I won’t be overly long.” He’d already been long-winded enough a moment ago. He’d go and make a clean cut from the dead then come back to his brother and work on a future.
